Sheer brilliance.
Yesterday, I was thinking that you guys were cutting a bit fine, but I was well aware of your "if it's up before next Monday, it's still on time" principle, so I was hoping you'd pull something out of the bag in time.
In all honesty, I was thinking that the best sort of video you could do in this instance would be a well-choreographed musical explaining how you dropped the ball. What do you know, that's exactly what you did!
Just loved the song. The Ustream watermark made me wonder whether that part was pre-recorded, but no. Loved when it broke into widescreen.
Overall, I thought the song was really nostalgic (even though it was only a few days ago, so much has happened that it's difficult to remember it all) and a great way to end the whole Desert Bus experience. Top notch. Almost brought a tear to my eye.
Graham, I didn't catch you blinking at all in that video. Was that intentional? (I heard it's common in video not to have characters blink because it makes it less distracting.) If not, have you tried entering staring competitions?
Also, I liked the intonation on "Put blame on the VCR".
I'm absolutely stunned by what a success this year's Desert Bus has been; you'll have a hard time beating it next year. I love the idea of projecting the chat. Maybe a second driver cam that films the back of the driver's head, the TV, the "chat wall" and all the technology you have hooked up. Essentially to cover anything that isn't picked up by the first cam.
But that's all far in the future. All I can say is that you guys should get your well-deserved sleep, and I look forward to seeing CH3 on Monday.
